/** This class implements the activity constraint of Potts models published in:
*
* Niculescu I, Textor J, de Boer RJ (2015)
* Crawling and Gliding: A Computational Model for Shape-Driven Cell Migration.
* PLoS Comput Biol 11(10): e1004280.
*
* Pixels recently added to a cell get an "activity", which then declines with every MCS.
* Copy attempts from more active into less active pixels have a higher success rate,
* which puts a positive feedback on protrusive activity and leads to cell migration.
*
* This constraint is generally used together with {@link Adhesion}, {@link VolumeConstraint},
* and {@link PerimeterConstraint}.
*
* @see https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004280
*
* @example
* // Build a CPM and add the constraint
* let CPM = require( "path/to/build" )
* let C = new CPM.CPM( [200,200], {
* T : 20,
* J : [[0,20],[20,10]],
* V : [0,500],
* LAMBDA_V : [0,5],
* P : [0,260],
* LAMBDA_P : [0,2]
* })
* C.add( new CPM.ActivityConstraint( {
* LAMBDA_ACT : [0,500],
* MAX_ACT : [0,30],
* ACT_MEAN : "geometric"
* } ) )
*
* // Or add automatically by entering the parameters in the CPM
* let C2 = new CPM.CPM( [200,200], {
* T : 20,
* J : [[0,20],[20,10]],
* V : [0,500],
* LAMBDA_V : [0,5],
* P : [0,260],
* LAMBDA_P : [0,2],
* LAMBDA_ACT : [0,500],
* MAX_ACT : [0,30],
